In "A Really Cool Car," Archie’s trusty ride takes a turn for the worse when its air conditioner fails, prompting a trip to Jughead’s cousin’s car testing facility. What starts as a simple repair quickly spirals when the car gets swapped into a high-stress test lineup meant to push vehicles to their limits. Written by Hal Smith and illustrated by Lou Maldonado, with inks by Ken Selig, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1997 digest tale brings classic Archie charm to a high-octane scenario. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the lighthearted chaos perfectly.
